My guy is in my phone as "Derrick the Sprinkler Dude".

Just had a H/W heater replaced yesterday.
Now I have a "Plumber Dude" in there too.

Remember way back when it was a DIY job? I lived in a couple old houses, galvanized, plugged up pipes..what a mess to do anything.

I hear ya - not only that but the H/W heater is NG & I simply don't play well with flammables.
(Plus there are black widows in the crawl space)

My son in law did that one for me, he'd do the sprinkler but he is at Burning Man making $$$ for a month.

The damn riser was broken, the pipe was fine. Oh well, it's fixed.

My son in law’s Dad is at the Burning Man right now too. When we were in Reno there was shitloads of people there waiting to continue on once the crazy dust storms stopped. Was taking 8hrs for people to even get in once there. Fuck that.
And then all the rain and muddy conditions. You couldn’t feed me enough psychedelics to stick around if you got me there. No thank you.

I have a perfectly fine sprinkler system with no god damn lawn lol. Gonna start a new one in about a month though.

I drove beaters for a decades and having AAA was pretty handy for the flat tire, dead battery and sometimes free towing and usually ended up paying for itself one way or another. They've always had actual PAPER maps (BB's a map freak) so there's that. Now, I've got auto insurance thru a AAA subsidiary company which was cheaper than others and believe me I checked. BUT, I also noticed many of the companies tried to add roadside in their policies saying how cheap it was. This article explains why not to do it as it could/will result in a "at fault" claim against you and cost much more in premium hikes than the yearly fee add on for the service.

Just bought a used tracker 2012 and was just talking to guy about getting AAA,he has it, said it has three different options to choose now. His has tow covered to 120 miles. I gotta look into, just want what you said had. I thought it was around 60 bucks.

Yeah, It's tiered. I've got and always had the cheapest one. In the past the distance range was greater and has declined over the years no doubt forcing you to a higher tier with more range if the towing portion is your reason. There's also a limit as to how many times per year you can use it. Last time I had to use it, it was about 5 miles but if you're out of town you're SOL. I don't know if you get some kind of charge reduction or if the first (X) miles are free.

Last time I broke down I called my insurance and asked if could help with a tow and they found someone and all three of us talked then handed off to me and tow guy. Ended up paying 50 to get me to shop a few miles. Most places around me 100 minimum so. But would of been nice to have to for piece of mind.

I had this vision in my head, a place where anyone can say whatever they want. Fuck topics and staying on them.


I'll get things kicking.


I'm sitting on my toilet making a thread as I take a shit and rub my finger in between my head and my forskin and smelling it every once in awhile. It smells like a camp fire.



Now you go.

What in the actual fuck?!
